Carroll P. Kakel III

A Post-Exceptionalist Perspective on Early American History (eBook, PDF)

American Wests, Global Wests, and Indian Wars

• Format: PDF

Produktbeschreibung

Challenging the still widely held notion that American history is somehow exceptional or unique, this book argues that early America is best understood as a settler-colonial supplanting society. As Kakel shows, this society undertook the violent theft of Indigenous land and resources on a massive scale, and was driven by a logic of elimination and a genocidal imperative to rid the new white settler living space of its existing Indigenous inhabitants.

Rezensionen

"This is a valuable piece of literature that could promote stimulating discussions in undergraduate and graduate courses alike. ... this book makes for especially interesting reading at a time when US legislators are pushing for recognition of the Armenian genocide and criticizing the Chinese government's well- documented violations of human rights among its Uyghur population." (Andrew A. Szarejko, American Indian Quarterly, Vol. 44 (3), 2020)
